I got a call from a friend who was calling me from Skype. Usually caller ID says 0000123456 when people call from Skype. It didn't bother me, I just thought it was something new...

Several weeks ago I was phoned to tell me I had won 1 of 5 prizes for a draw I entered in December at the local mall (but I did not even live in the province in December so I know that is not where they got my number) The President of the company, James Robinson, could barely speak English but heard my skepticizm. He gave me a phone number to call back if I changed my mind (718) 673-6170, this is a number in New York (Bronx, Queens, area). It is likely some timeshare company wanting you to hear their pitch. I have been receiving many calls a day with no one at the other end. Yesterday there were at least 5 calls. Today there have already been 5 calls. So I stopped answering the phone when the numbers (416) 360-1176 or (416) 360-4084) appeared in my display. Then they tried a new number (416) 350-5218. I think the 2 situations are related. The constant calls are driving me nuts!When I called Bell to complain they suggested I register for the new national Do Not Call List for telemarketers. You can register on Sept 30, 2008 at www.crtc.gc.ca. Telemarketers who call you can be fined. There is also another do not call list at www.the-cma.org but the list is only followed by members of the Canadian Marketing Association. Hope this works and hope helps someone else. Good Luck

Someone called me from the same number twice (416) 360-4084 :He asked me by my name.He said I understand you are doing business with a company that is my client in Vancouver.Please provide your full address and date of birth to verify if I have got the right person.I asked him about this client and he was very vague which sent alarms in my head.  He pressured me to provide my DOB and address, when I said you will need to provide more information before I give you any personal information.  He responded with I will be forced with me to tell my client that you are not cooperating.  And he hung up .... real mad!

Looking at this site I'm half afraid the voice-mail is a way to collect messages or info through registrations on this site.  Or to get people to sign in on this site.I got someone babbling in a language other than English or French, possibly middle-eastern, punctuated by bouts of giggling.  Male voice.  I didn't listen to the whole thing, but it was apparently 54 minutes and supposedly came some time after 2pm.  I'm in Toronto.  I assumed it would be a local call.  May be a cell since it wasn't on 411.I hope somebody nails these idiots.  But then we also live in a world where laws against credit card fraud and identity theft are under reported.

this nummber is so anyoing

As Ronald Reagan said, There you go again.

These jerks called again today.  Unfortunately for them, I "resurected" an old stand alone Caller ID box that can block nuisance calls.  Phone rings once and then the caller id box answers and plays a message that we are not accepting calls.
